Excellent for health and fitness, coordination, balance and understanding Brazilian culture. Capoeira encourages a positive body image and develops confidence, self- esteem and team-skills. It is a Brazilian martial art and brings health, fitness, exercise, fun, and dance from the cultural land of Brazil. Instructor Rodrigo is the only representative of Group Senzala of Capoeira in Australia. Founded in Rio de Janeiro, Group Senzala has been in existence for more than 40 years. The group is probably the largest and most famous Capoeira group in the world thanks to its many mestres and professors teaching Capoeira around world.
